I definitely have these intense feelings. I just started a thread last night titled "maternal obsessions". Check it out. I am lucky that my t allows for texts/emails from me. Anything remotely difficult for me to say gets put in an email and she responds--calming my fears and brings it up next session. Sometimes I can talk about it and sometimes I can't. She has remained calm, patient, and understanding either way. Her consistency has been very welcomed. I need to open up more, I have done it in bits and pieces. I have come to realize it is a bigger issue than what I came to therapy for in the first place......once you get to that place----what do you have to lose in talking to him/her about it? Any good t will react appropriately. If not---they are not the right t for you.
